Sympathetic Neuron Hyperactivation Drives Hair Follicle Necrosis and T Cell Autoreactivity

ABSTRACT: Stress profoundly affects health, but the mechanisms driving stress-induced tissue changes remain poorly understood. Here, we show that strong acute stress drives rapid hair loss and initiates autoimmunity. Under stress, hyperactivated sympathetic nerves release excessive norepinephrine, causing necrosis in rapidly dividing hair follicle transit-amplifying cells (HF-TACs) while sparing most hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). This differential sensitivity to stress stems from differences in cell death genes, metabolic strategies, and calcium homeostasis. Together, these factors render HF-TACs more vulnerable to the sudden calcium surges triggered by norepinephrine. HF-TAC necrosis releases cellular debris that triggers macrophage clearance and dendritic cell activation, ultimately leading to the activation and amplification of autoreactive T cells that can attack the hair follicle. Our findings reveal mechanistically how stress causes immediate tissue damage in the highly proliferative HF-TACs via sympathetic nerve-induced necrosis, which in turn fuels the activation of a T cell-mediated response against the hair follicle.

Genome-wide maps of histone modifications unwind in vivo chromatin states of the hair follicle lineage

Project description:Mouse hair follicles (HFs) undergo synchronized cycles. Cyclical regeneration and hair growth is fueled by stem cells (SCs). During the rest phase, the HF-SCs remain quiescent due to extrinsic inhibitory signals within the niche. As activating cues accumulate, HF-SCs become activated, proliferate, and grow downward to form transient-amplifying matrix progenitor cells. We used microarrays to detect the relative levels of global gene expression underlying the states of hair follicle stem cells and their transient-amplifying progeny before differentiation. Quiescent hair follicle stem cells (qHF-SCs), activated hair follicle stem cells (aHF-SCs) and transient-amplifying matrix cells (HF-TACs) were FACS-purified for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. To obtain homogeneous populations of expression profiles, we applied the FACS technique to purify SC and TACs according to their cell surface markers.

Sympathetic nerves and arrector pili muscles form a dual component niche to regulate hair follicle stem cells

Project description:Piloerection (goosebump) requires concerted actions of the hair follicle, the arrector pili muscle (APM), and the sympathetic nerve, providing a model to study interactions across epithelium, mesenchyme, and nerves. Here, we show that APMs and sympathetic nerves form a dual component niche to modulate hair follicle stem cell (HFSC) activity. Sympathetic nerves form synapse-like structures with HFSCs and regulate HFSCs through norepinephrine, whereas APMs maintain sympathetic innervation to HFSCs. Without norepinephrine signaling, HFSCs enter a deep quiescence state by down-regulating cell cycle machinery and mitochondria metabolism, while up-regulating quiescence regulators Lhx2, Foxp1, and Fgf18. During development, HFSC progeny secrets Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) to direct the formation of this APM-sympathetic nerve niche, which in turn controls hair follicle regeneration in adults. Our results reveal a reciprocal interdependence between a regenerative tissue and its niche at different stages, and illustrate that nerves can modulate stem cell quiescence through synapses and neurotransmitters.

Signaling networks of developing hair follicles

Project description:The hair follicle (HF) is a complex miniorgan that serves as an ideal model system to study stem cell (SC) interactions with the niche during growth and regeneration. Dermal papilla (DP) cells are required for activating SCs during the adult hair cycle, but the signal exchange between niche and SC precursors/transit amplifying progenitor cells (TACs) that regulates HF morphogenetic growth is largely unknown. Here we use six transgenic reporters to isolate 14 major skin and HF cell populations. With next-generation RNA sequencing we characterize their transcriptomes and define unique molecular signatures. SC precursors, TACs and the DP niche express a plethora of known and novel ligands and receptors. Signaling interaction network analysis reveals a birds-eye view of pathways implicated in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. Using a systematic tissue-wide approach this work provides a comprehensive platform, linked to an interactive online database, to identify and further explore the SC/TAC/niche crosstalk regulating HF growth.

Hyperactivation of Sympathetic Nerves Drives Melanocyte Stem Cell Depletion

Project description:Empirical and anecdotal evidence have associated stress with accelerated hair greying (formation of unpigmented hairs), but the scientific evidence linking the two is scant. Here, we report that acute stress leads to hair greying through fast depletion of melanocyte stem cells (MeSCs). Combining adrenalectomy, denervation, chemogenetics, cell ablation, and MeSC-specific adrenergic receptor knockout, we found that stress-induced MeSC loss is independent of immune attack or adrenal stress hormones. Rather, hair greying results from activation of the sympathetic nerves that innervate the MeSC niche. Upon stress, sympathetic nerve activation leads to burst release of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, which drives quiescent MeSCs into rapid proliferation, followed by differentiation, migration, and permanent depletion from the niche. Transient suppression of MeSC proliferation prevents stress-induced hair greying. Our studies demonstrate that acute stress-induced neuronal activity can drive rapid and permanent loss of somatic stem cells, and illustrate an example in which somatic stem cell maintenance is directly influenced by the overall physiological state of the organism.
